HANDSOME AND ATTRACTIVE.
Such is E. E. Nights Jewelry Store,
where a Superb Stock of Every
thing in His Line is Shown.

Among the other enterprising business
men in our thrifty and progressive town
who deserve credit for their handsome and
chap wares, the GOLD LEAF knows of
no one more deserving of mention for his
e fort to keep choice and reliable stock
of goods in his line than our prominent
young jeweler E. Z. Hight, whose reprta-
ton as an enterprising man, and compe-
tent and thorough workman, is known to
all persons who deal with him, or read
this paper.
Henderson has many men of enterprise
young men whose success in their spe-
cial line of business is the result of ener-
gy. integrity and reasonably low profit
on what they sell. Mr.. Hight is of these !;
he has achieved success solely from indi-
vidual merit, and his stock of fine jewelry,
gold and silver watches, clocks, silver
ware, &c, is not creditable to him only,
but to the town. for Henderson feels a
pride in the display he makes in the ele-
CANT assortment of Christmas Jewels now
on exhibition at his store.
! Where there are SO many different kinds
of rtcles-and each one prettier than the
other if such a thing were pOssible-the
GOLD LEAF representative had his eyes
so daZzied. and his mind SO bew;ldered
while looking through Mr.. Nights store
one day this week that he found it difficult
| to classify and enumerate them all. We
name few items that now occur to us -
Perhaps the first thing most likely to ar.
rest attention upon entering the door is
the very extensive array of clocks-of all
kinds, from the cheapest wood or nickel to
fine French, gilt or plastic marble. In the
line of jewelry there is an ample stock to
select from, and SOM ething to please all.
Plain and set finger rings, breast pins,
ear rings, cuff buttons, etc, for the ladies.
Fine gold and silver watches, chains,
charms, cuff buttons, collar buttons, scarf
pins, all the latest styles and patterns,
FOR the gentlemen. Gold pens and pen
ellis, silver ware, best quadruple plate.
butter di.hes, knives and forks, table and
tea spoons, napkin rings, soup ladies,
eight-day office clocks, and many other
things, for everybody.
MI. Hight has a special line OF goods for
Christmas and his stock must be seen to be
appreciated. There you will find the la.
test novelties and cOnceits in ornamental
jewelry-something unique and tasty
and every article marked down at mos,
reasonable figures.

Kate Bensoerg English Opera Compan,

Kate 6enSoerg EnSi1Sh opera company
The journal, of Sioux City, Iowa, says
of the Kate Bensberg Opera Company, to
appear at Burwell Hall next Monday
evening:
Undoubtedly the most delightful mus
zeal performance given in Sioux City in
recent years was that of The Sleep
ing Queen" by the Kate Bensberg Opera
Company at the Academy last night. 1t
was Miss Bensberg's initial appearance in
Sioux City, and few who heard her last
night were prepared to fitid her the re-
markable vocalist which she really is.
Her soprano is one voice out of tens of
thousands, of phenomenal purity and
power, capable alike of the highest register
and covering wide range, and showing
the result of the most finished culture.
nique of her art, She possesses, in remarka-
bic degree, what is equally Indispensable
that something which is necessary to
vitaIize the forms of art, which may be
called magnetism. In addition to this she
has special grace of presence and a
charm of manner: In finish of musical
culture and in rich vitality Of voice, Miss
Bensberg is beyond comparison above
Emma Abbott and no one who heard her
last night would hesitate for moment be-
tween her and kellogg. Miss Bensberg has
won by merit tue great success she has
achieved in so short public career, and
she has brilliant future before her.
Mr. Ed. Knight, in the part of "The
Regent" sang to great acceptance. His
splendid bassO was highly enjoyed, and he
is comedian of the Irresistible sort.
Miss Louise Engel, in the role of Nancy,
showed some fine acting as we'll as Leauti-
full singing, and was rewarded with numer-
Gus recalls. Mr.. Ross David has an eX-
ceedingly fine tenor voice.
The company in every part is one of
great strength and it is doubtful if Sioux
City has ever had an exhibition of superior
musical talent.

A KIND WORDFoR THE GOLD LEAF
MI Thomas Mason, editor of the Ciacill-
natl Tobacco journal, who was here Oh a
visit to the trade few weeks ago, in writ
ing about our market, makes the following
kind and complimentary mention of the
GOLD LEAF. He says:
A good local paper to any town is in
valuable, and can do more to help a place
to be prosperous and mould public opinion
for its interest than any other medium or
agent and i'll this respect the GOLD LEAF,
published 10y Mr.. Thad r. Manning, fills
the bill. lie has an excellent local paper,
and publishes many things about Hender-
son, which are copied by the press, and go
far towards making his town known to the
world. We know that, as rule, local pa
pers ale not SinecureS, and that cOntribu-
ton of four or five hundred dollars by the
business community of amy town would be
good investment towards helping the pa
per blow its trumpet for the towns interest
DO something to encourage newspapers to
boom the advantages and prosperity of
your town. Towns must be advertised to
the world the same as a business house.

A Rich Treat in Store for US.

The appearance of the Kate Bensberg
Opera Company at Burwell Hall next
Monday evening, promises to be by far the
richest thing in the amusement line Hen
derson people have yet had the opportunity
of enjoying. Miss Bcnsberg and her snpurb
Company of artists are accorded the
highest praise by press and public wherever
they have appeared. We have reason to
believe the artists comprising the company
are the peers of any il the operate profess
sion. Miss Kate Bensberg, the prima donna
of the company, is an American girl. and
claims ST. Louis as her birth place. She
has studied under the best masters of this
country and Europe, and has filled engage
ments in the principal opera companies
abroad, and was one of..the leading prima
donnas of the American Opera Company
during its first season.
Miss Louise Engel, the contralto has in
dictated by her p.st efforts she is an
artist of the first rank.
Mr.. Ross David's sweet tenor voice has
captivated his audiences everywhere. while
Mr. Knights beautifully Eodulated bass
voice charmSth the ears Of all.
Sig Serrano's manipulation Of the piano
cannot he excellet.
With such artists we certainly have the
right to expect fine performance, and
from their reputation wherever they have
appeared We know we shall not be diSap-
pointed
